[quote=Anonymous]I never had an IG account.  I've been on FB for well over a decade, and more recently have used Twitter but pretty sparingly (it is often used in my professional field for updates which I find helpful).

In 2016, for whatever reason, I could not stomach DCUM anymore and took a really long hiatus.  Just started coming back this year, ironically, after getting off FB.  I regret it...but now am having a hard time staying away.

For FB--I had a couple of mildly unpleasant interactions with a friend--not a close friend, but someone I know IRL, which prompted me to take a month away.  I had already found it annoying how often I've had to scroll through group/news-related posts rather than seeing the posts I like (I have a large, extended family and we have used FB to stay in contact).  I've had a really, really rough year personally, and I realized that I need to connect with people in a more "real" way and it just seemed crappy and defeating to look at people's posts or to do the vaguebooking "I'm really struggling...." kind of thing.

I haven't deleted my account but I take a look maybe once a week rather than every day.  [/quote]
